Dewayne Wise Named Full-time Starting CF/Leadoff hitter

No. Q hits 3rd, and his awesomeness projects to the spots around him and absorbs fear in a bell curve shaped pattern.

So if you're not defending Wise as the lead off hitter, but think Getz might not be able to do it, who should leadoff?

 

Alexei-->Getz (that was intended to be an arrow, not a "greater than" sign - edit)

 

Alexei is not the typical leadoff hitter at all, he doesn't take pitches ... but his aggressiveness and speed on the paths I think would be better for colder weather as a transition to Getz. And because of Alexei's history of being moved around in Cuba, I think he is so tough mentally he would do it for the team.

Alexei->Getz

 

Alexei is not the typical leadoff hitter at all, he doesn't take pitches ... but his aggressiveness and speed on the paths I think would be better for colder weather as a transition to Getz. And because of Alexei's history of being moved around in Cuba, I think he is so tough mentally he would do it for the team.

 

I love the idea of batting Getz-Alexei 1-2 in the order.

 

Have Getz see alot of pitches and get on consistently (as he has done in his entire career).

 

Then Alexei seeing a steady diet of fastball strikes batting in the 2-spot with Q protecting him.

 

I think we'd put up a boat-load of runs early in games if that happens.

 

Ozzie-Kenny, are you listening? Please... please make it happen.
